Causes Of Sin In The Hound Of The Baskervilles

A sin affects a family name for generations after because the name of a single miscreant can be traced back to a plethora of innocents who share it. In “The Hound of the Baskervilles” as Mrs. Barrymore tells Selden’s story, she says that her brother’s actions “dragged our name in the dirt” (Doyle 134). This caused the family to be no longer regarded with any form of kindness. The novel “And Then There Were None” tells of William Blore’s false punishment of James Landor. Because of his presumed crime, his family, who were presumably good people of the community, became neglected by those around them. Blore, however, came out with a promotion and a good reputation for himself and his relatives. These cases of moral wrongdoings bring not only
those who do wrong, but those who are close to those who do wrong vast neglection in their local areas. We have no reason to overlook the horrid deeds of sinners because they are truly unforgivable crimes.
